Huckster Wagon

Hubert (Hube) Wiley drove the huckster wagon for Grant Jenkins of Jenkins General Store. Does anyone have memories of running out to the huckster wagon and begging for candy? He would throw out only 3-4 pieces per trip, but we kids thought it was like manna from heaven. We used to get so excited about it.

I sure do remember the Huckster Wagon. He would drive by the sided of the building near the basketball court and throw out candy. We would all rush like crazy to get what we could. It was great when he would stop by the house to sell us things. It was a regular store on wheels.

We had two hucksters in Aberdeen, but Hube Wiley is the one we all remember. He would throw out 3-4 pieces of candy and we would all go crazy over it.
